Hi Sivangi,
How are you doing today?, Yeah, that makes sense—Liquid Clustering automatically optimizes data layout in the background, which can add some overhead compared to Z-Ordering, where you control when optimization happens. Liquid Clustering continuously reorganizes data as new writes come in, which can make initial writes slower but improves long-term query performance. If write speed is a concern, you could try batching writes instead of frequent small updates or tweaking your cluster configuration for better performance. Also, if your workload benefits more from manual optimization, Z-Ordering might still be the better choice. Let me know what you're trying to optimize—write speed or query speed—and we can figure out the best approach!

Brahma
